Interoperability Brocade Access Gateway enables Brocade embedded SAN switches to interoperate with other SAN fabricsrunning supported firmware. While in Brocade Access Gateway mode, the device must also be connected toan NPIV-enabled edge switch or director. Supported edge environments are listed in the Brocade FabricOS® release notes.

Software Components, StandardAccess Gateway* Brocade Access Gateway Mode enables seamless connectivity for Brocade embedded SAN switches to

other supported SAN fabrics, enhances scalability, and simplifies manageability. Utilizing N_Port IDVirtualization (NPIV) standards, Brocade Access Gateway eliminates switch/domain considerations.

* Brocade Access Gateway mode does not support many switch-related features, including most featuresin the Power Pack+ bundle. Please refer to the Fabric OS Release Notes and Access GatewayAdministrator's Guide for details.

Frame Filtering A special B-Series ASIC-based capability that enables new applications and features. The switch has theability to "view" the first 64-bytes of the Fibre Channel frame.

Advanced Zoning Zoning (Port and Worldwide Name), as well as Access Control, are enforced by hardware within the ASICthat provides the same simple administration previously enforced only with software. Hardwareenforcement enables the highest level of zoning enforcement without any impact to performance.Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access bydevices outside the Zone.

WebTools - included inBrocade Fabric OS

Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches and monitor small SANfabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PCor workstation from any location within the enterprise.

EGM Enhanced Group Management (EGM) is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and enablesmulti-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches to save time andstreamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone to error. EGM drives consistency across fabrics,while minimizing the risk associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches. EGMprovides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring and diagnosis.

SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus and Enterprise enable EGM functionality. Customershave EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the decision aroundwhich SAN Network Advisor application is right for them.

Dynamic Path Selection Improves performance by dynamically routing data traffic across multiple links and trunk groups.

Secure Fabric OS - includedin Brocade Fabric OS

Secure Fabric OS features have been fully integrated into the base Fabric OS since v5.3.0. Thesecomprehensive security features for SAN fabrics provide policy-based security protection for morepredictable change management, assured configuration integrity and reduced risk of downtime. Securitymethods supported include digital certificates and digital signatures, multiple levels of passwordprotection, strong password encryption and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication, and 128-bit encryption of the switch's private key used for digital signatures. These features enable organizationsto customize SAN security to meet specific policy requirements and work in conjunction with AdvancedZoning to further secure access to the SAN, simplify storage management, and reduce provisioning time.

Adaptive NetworkingServices

This suite of tools optimizes fabric behavior and ensures ample bandwidth for mission-critical applications.The tools currently include Quality of Service (QoS), Ingress Rate Limiting, Traffic Isolation, and TopTalkers. By assigning zones a high, medium, or low priority, QoS allocates bandwidth in the event ofcongestion to expedite high-priority traffic and keep all traffic flowing. Ingress Rate Limiting restricts dataflow from less-critical hosts at preset bandwidths. Traffic Isolation assigns high-bandwidth data flows tospecific ISLs. And Top Talkers measures the top bandwidth-consuming traffic in real time for a specificphysical or virtual device, or end to end across the fabric.

ISL Trunking For high performance and seamless failover, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports(switch mode) or F-ports (Access Gateway mode) to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two Brocadeor HP B-Series switches. Each switch needs its own license. The fabric operating system views the trunk asa single, high bandwidth ISL resource (up to 64 Gbps when routing connections between 8 Gbps capableswitches). Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunkgroup.

Fabric Watch Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the health of the SAN for potential faults-and automaticallyalert network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SANfabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmentalparameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switchin the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license.

Advanced PerformanceMonitoring

This enabling technology helps administrators monitor application data traffic from a SID (Source ID) to aDID (Destination ID), so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus, AdvancedPerformance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the fabric, apowerful tool for maximizing SAN performance.

Extended Fabrics Extends the native Fibre-Channel traffic up to 590 km. Extended Fabrics increases the scalability,reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard.

Server ApplicationOptimization

Server Application Optimization (SAO) license improves overall application performance for physicalservers and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with Brocade Fibre Channel HBAs, extends BrocadeAdaptive Networking from the Brocade SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers application-level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server applications.

Solution Requirements:

SAO license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switchAdaptive Networking (AN) license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switchSAO requires Brocade <> HBA installed in the server

SAN Network AdvisorProfessional

HP SAN Network Advisor Professional is a management application available at no-charge and comes withB-series SAN Switches and:

Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 switch ports) at a timePerforms group switch management beyond the scope of Web ToolsDoes not offer management of the SN8000B 8-Slot or DC SAN Backbone Directors

It is targeted for SMB customers that use FOS based SAN fabrics and require a management solution forsmaller SANs based on a single fabric.

SMB customers that initially start off with SAN Network Advisor Professional and have a small SANenvironment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (SAN Network Advisor Enterprise)as their environments start to grow in size and complexity, and as they start to uptake more enterprise-class functionality (such as Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, etc.). A non-disruptive upgrade path is availablefrom SAN Network Advisor Professional to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise.

SAN Network AdvisorEnterprise andProfessional+

HP SAN Network Advisor Enterprise and Professional+ are the enterprise-class products that support FOSproducts as well as FOS and M-EOS products together. SAN Network Advisor Enterprise provides completeSN8000B 8-Slot Director and DC SAN Backbone Director management including enterprise-classfeatures/environments such as FICON, Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, adaptive networking, etc while HP SANNetwork Advisor Professional+ provides the same feature set except for support for the SN8000B 8-SlotDirector, DC SAN Backbone Director, and FICON.

HP SAN Network Advisor Enterprise delivers unprecedented scalability, up to 24 fabrics and 9,000 switchports, while HP SAN Network Advisor Professional+ scales to 4 SAN Fabrics and 2560 switch ports. Toaccommodate growth, there is an upgrade available to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise from SAN NetworkAdvisor Professional Plus.

Both offerings provide brand-new features including Adaptive Networking features for quality of service,ingress rate limiting and traffic isolation zones.
